Problems solved by technology
Basing such a system in space results in a higher collection rate for the solar energy due to the lack of a diffusing atmosphere.
A general limitation for conventional SBSP systems is the size of SPS required to generate sufficient electrical power from solar energy.
The launch costs associated with placing such large structures into orbit reduces the economic viability of such SBSP systems.

Embodiment Construction
[0085]Turning now to the drawings, large-scale space-based solar power (SBSP) stations and efficient power generation tiles in accordance with various embodiments of the invention are illustrated. In many embodiments, the SBSP systems include arrays of independent satellite modules each incorporating arrays of independent solar electric power generation tiles. In several embodiments, the power generation tiles are each formed incorporating independent photovoltaic cells, power transmitters, and control circuits. The satellite modules and power generation tiles may be formed from compactible structures according to some embodiments. Methods for deploying, stabilizing, operating and constructing such large-scale space-based solar power systems in accordance with a number of embodiments of the invention are also described. Similar systems and methods are described in: U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 61 / 993,016 entitled “Large-Scale Space-Based Array: Packaging, Deployment ...
